‘New Moon’ Director Tackles Immigration in ‘A Better Life’ (Video)

After taking on vampires, Chris Weitz sinks his teeth into grittier, real-life fare with his upcoming movie "A Better Life."

Weitz, who most recently directed "The Twilight Saga: New Moon," grapples with the plight of immigrants in his latest effort. The movie follows a Los Angeles gardener — played by Demian Bichir of "Weeds" — and his efforts to shield his son from the influence of local gangs.
